Abstract
This Order applies in respect of fishing boats exceeding 10 metres in overall length. The Order sets out principles on which the time which such boats may spend at sea is to be arrived at for the purpose of any condition included in a licence under section 4 of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Act 1967, as amended, by virtue of section 4(6)(c) of that Act. In this Order articles 4 to 11 set out principles applicable in arriving at the initial allocation of time at sea in respect of a vessel in a period not exceeding 12 consecutive months. There is a minimum allocation of 160 half-days (art. 4).Subject to that minimum, the Order provides for a basic allocation in that period based on half-days spent at sea by the vessel in a specified year, as derived from written returns submitted to the appropriate Minister (art. 5). Provision is made for the basic allocation to be increased to take account of a variety of circumstances (arts. 6 to 11). Principles applicable in arriving at subsequent allocations of time at sea in respect of a vessel are set out in article 12.
